Jupiter's moon Io seen in a crescent phase. On the lit side, the moon's many volcanoes and lava fields can be seen in a landscape of mottled, reddish, brown, and black colors. Image data: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS Image processing by Gerald Eichstädt/Thomas Thomopoulos © CC BY

Our #JunoMission observed a powerful and extensive volcanic eruption on Jupiter's moon Io. The event is the most energetic ever detected outside Earth and revealed the existence of vast, interconnected magma systems beneath the surface. missionjuno.swri.edu/news/unprece...

BONUS #JunoCam: What's the bright star in the sky? That's Jupiter! Jupiter is at opposition TOMORROW, Jan. 10., which means that Earth will be in line between Jupiter and the Sun.

The planet Jupiter is shown from an unusual angle. Most prominent are a miasma of jumbled and swirling clouds including many oval storms. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

Pallasite (sold as NWA 16774) — polished slice (4.7 g).
Wide view + close-up under raking light: translucent olivine crystals in an Fe–Ni metal network, with dark opaque inclusions (likely sulfides). Minor oxidation/staining visible in places.

Zagora 006 (Morocco) — eucrite (HED), brecciated — polished slice (6 g).
Macro views show a fine-grained light-grey matrix with darker clasts and scattered opaque grains. Localized orange-brown staining likely from terrestrial weathering/oxidation.

Unclassified Moroccan chondrite, polished slice (15 g). Bright specks are likely Fe–Ni metal. The pale ~6 mm oval is possibly a macrochondrule or a clast.

Two JunoCam passes (PJ53 & PJ67) of Jupiter’s polar region.
A cyclone-like vortex is visible in both, illustrating how rapidly cloud-top patterns can reorganize between observations.
